Recommendations for Leopard compatible dial-up ISP's

I can send text, but am unable to send all but the smallest (less than 50kb) attachments to emails before getting the "Unable to connect to SMTP server'' message. Netzero is the dial-up ISP, and I have used the service for years on a PC with no problems. There were no problems when using Tiger last November. This appeared as a problem after upgrade to Leopard. Do other dial-up ISP's have this problem with Leopard? Recommendations for dial-up ISP's that are Leopard compatible will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Have used Earthlink dialup for years (through Panther, Tiger, Leopard, etc.)
For email, Have both Earthlink account and Gmail account.
When using Apple's Mail, difficulties sending large attachments via Gmail account.
Not so with Earthlink account.
When using either Earthlink account or Gmail account to send an attachment directly (not using Apple's Mail), both send an attachment fine.
Note: Dialup (using an Apple External Modem on a MacBook Pro) worked fine over the years until latest Leopard 10.5.2 upgrade. Computer freezes during dialup (cursor freezes).
This is not an Earthlink issue; see all the forms about internet connection problems (both dial up and wireless) since the 10.5.2 upgrade.
Until the connection issues are sorted out, I would stop at Leopard 10.5.1.

  • Release Date for Leopard-Compatible ProTools? Help Please!

    Hey,
    I think this was the best forum to post this in. :$
    I have a Yahama Motif 7 Keyboard ( USB & MIDI Outputs ) connected via MIDI to a Digidesign Driver, which is then connected to my computer via FireWire cable. Logic Studio cannot recognize my Digi002 Driver, and I know this is because I lack ProTools AudioCore Recognition ( or something like that :P ) software.
    Does anyone know the expected release date of the version of ProTools that will be compatible with Leopard? Would the hassle to reverting my computer back to Tiger be less than waiting for the new ProTools to come out?
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    I have just upgraded in a quantum leap from a Quicksilver Mac to a Quad Core 3ghz Mac Pro, and swapped out my MBox 2 for a Factory 003. Despite promises to the contrary, the Mac Pro came without Tiger install disks, which I knew I would need. Just Leopard disks and the beast pre-installed. Looks great but of course my Pro Tools 7.3 install failed. I tried the tips to install that were on the digidesign and Mac forums, and still no joy. Apple Care... well, cared and I am now waiting for OEM Tiger 10.4.8 to arrive so I can do a clean erase and install. Hopefully this will then leave me able to plug in the 003 and start having a great deal of fun Apple Care has sworn blind and on pain of spam that the install will work, and that the firmware has not changed since they were shipping the Mac Pro with both Tiger and Leopard install disks. Here's hoping, 'cos I hear not a whisper about Leopard-compatible Pro Tools...

  • Which Mac Mini Configuration Recommended for Leopard??

    I'm about to purchase a new Mini to replace my (beautiful!) G4 Cubes, and would appreciate any comments/recommendations on which configuration to order. I'm planning to get the upgraded 2GB of memory (more is always better!, and my guess would be that the 2.0 GHz processor with a 120 GB HD + SuperDrive should be a nice ticket - or would you recommend a bigger HD? (I don't do intensive graphics or any gaming, but I want to be able to run OS X and MS Windows simultaneously (with Parallels?).
    Also... I currently have 2 G4 Cubes networked to run on a single DSL service using a FriendlyNet Ethernet Hub and 2Wire modem. Any problems simply substituting the Mac Mini for one of the Cubes in this network?
    Final question, please: With Leopard plus Parallels on the new Mini, what is the minimum Microsoft package I would need to buy in order to open and work with basic Excel, PPS, and Word documents?
    With your comments/recommendations, I'm ready to add my contribution to Apple's gross and net income for the current quarter!!..... Thanks!... CaptDenny

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The requirements for Leopard are sufficiently low that even an old Mac mini should run it well, let alone one of the new Core 2 Duo models. As such, the 2.0 model with 2Gb RAM should be more than adequate. Leopard's only notably heavier demand is drive space, now requiring close to 10Gb. Clearly the 120Gb drive standard in the 2.0 model would be adequate to that task, plus allow for use of Windows also. As such, a larger internal drive wouldn't really be recommended, though you may wish to consider adding a good sized external, preferably a firewire connected drive, for extra storage and backup.
    Where running Windows is concerned, Leopard comes with BootCamp, so you could use that as opposed to Parallels. The downside is that while BootCamp is free, it doesn't permit the running of MacOS and Windows side by side. At boot, you have to select one or the other. If that meets your needs, then it's a better bet in many ways, since it allows the entire system, memory and processor to be dedicated to whichever OS you need at any given time, rather than shared.
    On the other hand, if you need or want to run both MacOS and Windows simultaneously, and switch between them, Parallels is the option that would allow that, though both MacOS and Windows will suffer in terms of absolute performance since RAM and CPU are shared between them.
    You should have no problem substituting a new mini into your home network using the same setup as you presently have on the soon to be retired Cube.
    To run Excel, PowerPoint and Word, you'll need a copy of MS Office. The current version for Mac is still 2004, which is not Intel native. The updated version to closely match MS Office 2007 for Windows will not be out for Mac until 2008. If you buy a copy of MS Office 2004 for Mac however, you'll get an upgrade to the new version when it is released. Upgrading at that point would be advised since while the current version is not Intel native, the new version due is. If you are a student or teacher, you will qualify for the Academic version at around $150, otherwise it's a little expensive $400 list price.

  • Book recommendation for Leopard 10.5.2?

    Does anyone know if there is a "How to . . . " book on the market now for Leopard that INCLUDES the 10.5.2 update?
    Thanks,
    Art

    With the exception of changes to Stacks (pretty minor), I don't think Leopard changed very much functionally with the release of 10.5.2.
    I like David Pogue's Mac books.

  • Recommendations for intel compatible midi and audio interfaces?

    Right now I'm looking for recommendations on a small and cheap midi interface that already has Universal drivers.
    Also, what audio interfaces are people using with intel macs? Who has drivers ready besides MOTU?

    I've got an m-audio firewire 410, which is supposed to be a compatable interface, but the midi doesn't seem to work at all and the headphone cue only works when you monitor the aux sends.
    -Know that even if you get one of the compatible interfaces, you may have to wait for a driver update before it functions at 100%.

  • I want to add a solar charger for iPhone 5 and iPad to my emergency kit. Are there recommendations for compatible solar products?

    If you are seldom in a Wi-Fi Network Area, then you can turn off Wi-Fi until you knowingly are in such a Network Area.  You can go through your Applications where you don't really need to know the instant an Update is available and turn off the push update notifications.  You can turn down the screen brightness.  You can set the sleep cycle to 1-min.  You could set your email to check for new messages every 30-min. rather than less than 1 min.  Just some of many steps available.

  • Bought a flight simulator and would like to use a joystick. Need a recommendation for a Mac Air compatible joystick.

    Bought a flight simulator and would like to use a joystick. Need a recommendation for a decent device compatible with a MacAir.

    Thanks, Sig.  I think I should've been a little clearer.  I've attempted to do the updates on my Mac, but I get a warning that it will erase everything except calenders, email, etc from the iPad.  I've syned the iPad with the Mac with no problem, but get scary messages when I try to do the latest update.

  • I need recommendations for an emac 1.42 and ibook 1.33 compatible external superdrive ?

    I need recommendations for an emac 1.42 and ibook 1.33, OS 10.3 - 10.5 compatible external superdrive ?

    If you need the drive to be able to boot those Macs, you'll need FireWire connectivity. If you ned to use a system optical disk to upgrade or re-install the OS. or repair your hard drive, you must boot from the optical drive. If either computer's built-in optical drive has failed, or does not support reading DVDs, you'l need to boot from an external sooner or later.
    If all you need is a burner, then USB opticals are cheaper and should work fine.

  • What are some good Plugin packages for Logic - must be Leopard Compatible

    I'm new to Logic, heck, Mac in general. On my PeeCee I used Nuendo v.1 and had the Waves Diamond Bundle. I'm looking for something with comparable abilities that's Leopard compatible. Also, I really can't afford the Waves stuff at this point, price is a HUGE consideration for me.
    I'm seriously considering going to Logic Studio (use Express right now) to gain the multitude of instruments and Plugins. In your experience, are the plugins included in Logic Studio good enough that I'd get what I need using them and not have to find another package (for the time being at least)?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    There aren't any classes in the API to do that, but there are 3rd party libraries that can do that. Just google.

  • Another dual-SATA Firewire 400/800 case that is Leopard compatible?

    Looks like OWC is out of stock for 9 days, and I need to get one sooner than that. I'm look for a non-RAID configuration allowing me to have two 500 GB SATA hard drives which I already have and place them inside a single case that has both Firewire 800 and 400 support? Any recommendations which are Leopard compatible? I'd prefer to spend under $200 USD.

  • What current version of safari is recommended for Os 10.5.8?

    What current version of safari is recommended for Os 10.5.8?

    None. The browser installed with 10.5.8 is the last for that version of OS X. To upgrade Safari you need to upgrade OS X:
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later

  • Suggestion for a compatible hd logitech webcam or any other for mac pro..

    Please suggest me a hd webcam for my mac pro, as i want to use it for facetime video conferencing and many other things.. please help me!!!!

    (1) You have a choice of many Mac-compatible USB cam.  Some examples of current compatible cams are described at  http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/.
    (2) If you want a wireless cam, consider http://ecamm.com/mac/webcam/bt1/
    (3) OS X already has everything it needs for Mac-compatible cams.  I recommend that you not add any OS X software that comes with your chosen camera to your OS X Mac, at least until you have tested your new cam without adding anything.
    As OS X user Kurt Weber, who is using the Logitech C615 explains in this recent topic, the Logitech software is required in order to provide its HD images.  However. as user Dave Stowe reports in the same thread, the added third-party software can contribute unexpected effects on some systems.  Such possible interaction is the reason I do not recommend adding third-party software unless the image is not acceptable without it. 
    This added software caution applies only to Mac OS X.  For use with Windows® on a Mac, feel free to install any compatible Windows® software your external camera may need.

  • Need a printer recommendation for a small office

    hey folks, hoping someone might be able to suggest a recommendation for our business. We’ve had an OkiData color laser printer that’s lasted over 6 years but it’s been giving us some trouble over the last year and yesterday it stopped printing with an error we can’t resolve. Would have to bring a tech in to fix and we’d basically already decided that once this thing bit the dust we’d move on to something else. It’s time.
    We are looking for something in the $200-$400 range, would consider going a little higher if it was clearly worth it. We want something that connects wireless, prints quickly and reliably in Snow Leopard over an Airport Extreme network, decent color print quality is important but doesn’t have to be photo quality (we have an HP Photosmart for that kind of stuff), and it needs to have reasonable printing cost per page. We don’t print a tremendous amount of stuff, but we probably go through 100-200 pages a day and it adds up.
    Was looking at the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 wireless and that looks like a nice unit except half the people who buy one hate it. Looks like HP quality control is lacking and if you get a good unit, great, but the odds are good you’ll get a lousy one.
    Also looking at the Brother HL-3070CW, but reviews say it has a high consumable cost.
    Basically, the more I look into this the more I head spins and now I've got myself wrapped around the axle and don’t know what to do.
    Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

    I would steer clear of the 500 express. Since you seem to be new to cisco products, I would use the opportunity and buy what most of your potential customers already have. Get yourself a pix/asa and a 2900 series switch as first poster suggested. If you are interested in certifications, you will need to learn the command line interface. The 500 express will do you no good as it is all gui. This is only my opinion of course. Oh, and did I see not expensive and cisco in the same sentence. :)

  • Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz

    Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz
    I am using os x 10.4.11.
    Do I need to upgrade to 10.5.xx? Will this platform suport 10.6.xx? If 10.6 will work do I need to install 10.5 first?
    Thanks...

    Hi. Your computer can be upgraded to either Leopard 10.5 or Snow Leopard 10.6. 10.6 will be much easier to find and will be less expensive. Leopard is not required prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard.
